Planting annuals in your garden provides continuous blooms throughout the season. Grow them directly in the ground, in raised beds, in pots, or even in hanging baskets to use vertical space. Annuals, unlike perennials, need to be planted each year. Growing annuals allows plenty of opportunity to experiment with what flowers you like and thrive in your geographical area and which blooms you want to have in your landscape year after year.
Typically, any usual flower comprises an average of three to six petals. Some plants produce clusters of small blooms fused into enormous flowerheads, while some are mutated, called double flowers, producing an abnormally large number of petals.
Companion planting in the garden can serve several purposes, ranging from maximizing garden space to attracting beneficial insects and pollinators to luring insect pests away from other food crops.
